1.   I hear the sound of distant drums, far away, far away.

    And if they call on me to come, then I must go   and you will stay.

So, Mary, marry me,       let`s not wait

                  A                                 A7               D

let`s share all the time we can before it`s too late.

                                        D7                               G

Love me now, for now is all the time there may be,

           A                       A7             D - G - D

if you love me, Mary, Mary marry me.

    And if they call, then  I   must go, across the sea   so wild and brave.
